Biography

I received my BA from Stanford and Ph.D. from Harvard. I was a visiting assistant professor at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, an assistant professor at Trinity University, San Antonio, Texas, and currently am a professor at UCSB.

Research

I am interested in the self, memory, consciousness, evolutionary psychology, neuropsychology, mental time travel, subjective temporality, and the philosophy of science, self and memory. My research largely involves exploration of issues pertaining to social knowledge representation (self, others), and draws on both normal and patient populations. I also am interested in many of the largely unwarranted (either empirically or theoretically) assumptions that are stipulated to pertain to self, memory and consciousness.
